"This is almost like a bonus practice for the guys
tonight," head coach Reggie Barlow said Sunday.
"We didn't want to tax them too bad after being off. We just wanted to get the
guys focused and ready for Tuesday night's practice, when we begin acclimating
plays into the system for Alabama A&M.
The contest can be heard on WVAS 90.7 FM and can
be followed online via live stats at: http://www.sidearmstats.com/aamu/football/scoreboard.aspx.

Also, the contest
will be aired live on ESPN3.com. ESPNU will air the contest at 9:30 Saturday
night.
The Hornets (4-3 overall, 4-2 SWAC) got back in
the groove of things, working hard on their defensive and offensive schemes.

"This is one of those games that will take care of
itself," Barlow said. "These kids will be more motivated Tuesday. It'll be an
exciting time as the week continues to build up. It's Sunday, so they'll come
back Tuesday night much more focused for practice."

For the third time this season, the national
spotlight will shine on the football program and Alabama State University on
the ESPN Family of Networks. The Hornets' season opener with Bethune-Cookman
was televised on ESPN, the Arkansas Pine-Bluff contest was televised on ESPNU,
and Saturday afternoon's contest will be tape delayed on ESPNU.
